Does Windows Media Player maybe do it?
Windows 10 64 V1903 and another PC V1803.
A free software that does this clicking song by song but is buggy:
I tried BlissHQ but was complicated and didn't even do my free 100 MP3s fixes.

Yes, Windows Media Player will do it if it can figure out what song it is dealing with.
It will probably need to move the files around so that they are grouped by artist/album at the same time. I am not sure. I never lump hundreds of MP3s into the same folder.
It will also update tag info so it is correct and optionally move fixed stuff to another folder so you know that it has modified it.
You need to go to: File->Manage Libraries->Music and add the root of folders you want in the library (aka want art for).
For anything it can find..
- the mp3 tags will get modified to contain year, artist, etc etc..
- It will download several tiny jpg files for album art to include one called Folder.jpg (this is a standard). Folder.jpg is one of the MANY reasons you should allow it to categorize your mp3s by folder.
For anything it CANT find..
- Open the generic music icon in the player to the album view
- Right click on the music note and select "find album info" and it will give you a list of possible options.
Anything that knows about folder.jpg files should be able to display your art. Explorer will do it. Zune player, Media Player, Kodi, ... whatever.
You will see the artwork filling in as it goes.
Here is a screenshot of a folder in my library. I didn't download or hand tweak any of this.
Also.. it is slow. Be patient. It will work.
